Has anyone else had the experience of a local council getting sh*tty
because you have asked them to take away a fridge? They are
charging me £20 anyway, but thats not the issue, I was made to feel
really guilty for daring to get rid of my old appliance and get a
new one at all!
I heard of recycling but this is silly.
In 1977 I brought my fridge. Its now knackered. Doesnt cool and
needs to be replaced. So I replaced it. Council officer told me I
should not have replaced it - I am an ecologically unfriendly person
for getting rid of an old appliance!
What am I supposed to do?
Tell him to get ****ed and dump it in a layby, like everyone else.
Who's everyone? certainly not me.
